Some hip or femur disorders lead to femoral head osteotomy surgery. After surgery, it is necessary to start physical therapy for faster recovery of the animal. Physiotherapy includes different devices such as stimulators or lasers and methods like manual therapy and massage.
This study was conducted to show the different methods of physiotherapy used in 19 dogs after femoral head osteotomy, and also to collect information about the time between the start of physiotherapy after surgery and the duration of their recovery.
Nineteen dogs that underwent femoral head osteotomy surgery were given physiotherapy after 2 days. The treatment methods used are cold therapy and heat therapy, ultrasound, laser therapy, electrical stimulation, massage, passive joint movement and passive stretching. Lameness score and muscle size were measured at the beginning of physiotherapy and at the tenth session.
There was no significant difference between the size of the muscles at the beginning of the physiotherapy session and the 10 sessions after that, but the evaluation of the lameness score showed a significant difference.
Early start of physiotherapy after surgery is very important and leads to faster recovery of the patient.
一些髋关节或股骨疾病会导致股骨头截骨手术。手术后，有必要开始物理治疗以促进动物更快恢复。物理治疗包括不同的设备，如刺激器或激光，以及手动治疗和按摩等方法。
本研究旨在展示19只狗在股骨头截骨术后使用的不同物理治疗方法，并收集有关术后开始物理治疗的时间与其恢复持续时间的信息。
19只接受股骨头截骨手术的狗在术后2天接受物理治疗。使用的治疗方法有冷疗和热疗、超声波、激光治疗、电刺激、按摩、被动关节活动和被动拉伸。在物理治疗开始时和第十次治疗时测量跛行评分和肌肉大小。
物理治疗开始时与之后的十次治疗时肌肉大小之间无显著差异，但跛行评分评估显示有显著差异。
术后尽早开始物理治疗非常重要，可使患者更快恢复。
